A wild right awing glaced off Tony's abundant stomach after he had slapped Baer's guard down. All had been fairly peaceful while the pair weighed In for their 19-round bout tonignt in the ball park. Galento scaled 244V4 and Baer 221 The fight will start about 6 p. m. (P.S.T.) Later, they struck their fight ing poses for tna cameramen, and the bulbs were flashing when Tony suddenly slapped Baer's left fist down. Possibly he thought Maxic was holding it too close to the Galento fea tures. Bear's reaction, at any rate, was fast and apparently seri ous. He swung with everything ha had, and Tony braced to meet him as their handlers rushed in and grabbed both men. "I'll get ya tonight, ya mug," shouted the enraged Galento. That's all I'm waiting for," yelled Maxie right back. The incident appeared to have been spontaneous. Previously, Galento had told Commissioner Abe Green that he did not want either of two prominent referees Paul Cava lier or Gene Roman In the ring tonight. Greene told Tony he (Tony) could not name the referee, and followed up by warning Tony to fight cleanly tonight.

PINE 300 CUBIC FOOT LOAD BLOCKS KINDLING oeteoN STAMDl American Leaoue Sport Graphs Billy Hulen Says; War in Europe Upt Price of Baseball DucaU The European mess indirectly is going to sock the pocketbooks of Medford sport fans, but not enough to make the eagle yelp for help. Because of the war America is embarking on a whopping armament program, the cost of which is to be partly born by taxes on sporting events. And Wednesday night baseball clients will take their first slight financial rap to help pay for those guns, planes, tanks Uncle Sam will shortly start to build in quantities. When the African Zulu Giants, grass-skirted colored loonies, clash with the Craters under the fairgrounds field lights, new admission prices will be in effect. Regular gen eral admission, box seats and the ladies night pasteboards will all retail a nickel higher. It won't be ladies' night Wednes day against the Zulus, however. There has been a govern ment tax right along on ad mission tickets to sports events and amusements, but heretofore the tax was only on ducats costing over 40 cents. Under the new bill, ad missions over 20 cents are taxed approximately 10 per ' cent, which is the reason for the Increase in baseball prices, along with theatres and other sporting events and amuse ments. Ladies night tickets, although under the 20-cent bracket, will be raised be cause the feminine fsns occu py general admission seats. In appreciation of the grand 0.6 baseball being turned In by the 1-3 State League-Leading Craters, 0.0 directors of the Medford Ath-1-8 letic association have voted to -0.4 hoist the percentage of the gate 3-0 receipts going into the players' -0.8 pool, to be split at the end of 3-1 the season. Instead of 25 per -I I cent of the net take at each 2.1 home league game, the player -12 kitty will be sweetened by 25 2.0 per cent of the gross, which will -1.2 be considerably more. 2.0 In addition to that "cut" on -1.0 league games, the directors 2.0 voted to place in the players' -0.8 pot 33 1-3 per cent of the net 2.0 1 on all exhibition tussles, ex 0.4 cept for tomorrow night's strug- 1.9 gle against the Zulus. And on 0.0 j this fracas, the ENTIRE net 1.9 j gate will be handed over to the 0.51 players immediately after the 1.8 game, in tangible recognition of 1.0 1 their amazing feat in walloping, 1.7 the Portland Babes four in a 1.5, row over the week-end.. To keep the record straight, it might be pointed out that Medford Is currently leading the State league in both the second and first half pennant races. That sounds funny, but it's true. Here's why. The iirsi-half race hasn't yet been decided, although the teams are now battling in the second half, with the Craters holding a one-game lead over Silverton, Albany and Eu gene, all tied for second. Med ford and Albany, alone have a chance for the iirst-halt title, and both have postponed games to make up. The Craters and the Oaks were rained out of their two cotnf ortab I. quit room II with hat hi from e S fnlnataa from Utiles R.R.

Albany, in addition ! was rained out of two games ! against Eugene. The Oaks have I played one of those two post poned games against Eugene winning it, so their won and lost record in the first-half, right now, is 10 and one. Medford. in beating the Babes twice Satur day night in makeups of post poned first-half clashes, brought their record to 11 and one. The Craters have only those : two postponed Albany games to play, while Albany has three to make up the two against Med ford and one more against Eu ' gene. If Eugene could dump the Oaks, then all Medford would need in order to clinch the first- half championship would be a split with Albany. When Jimmy Rego Iron manned those 1 to 0 and 5 to 0 shutouts of the Babes Saturday night, he ran his string of consecutive scoreless Innings to 24 in State league action 14 against the Babes. 9 against Jack and Jill in a 2 to 0 conquest the weak-end previous, and the ninth Inning against Albany June 15. The Craters undoubtedly would stand an excellent chance in the (State semi-pro . tourna ment opening in Portland today, but it is doubtful if the boys can enter because of financial reasons. They are slated to play their first game July 9, and make another trip to Portland on the 12th, but it looks like they'll have to drop out because of the time and money thai' would lose away from their jobs.

OP) The cry of the crowd and tha clang of the cash register beckoned middle-aged Jack Demp sey down the comeback trail today after his lopsided knock out of a tubby wrestler. It took the old Manassa Mauler only four minutes and 38 seconds last night to pound Clarence (Futile) Luttrell into Insensibility, and before the flabby 224-pound grapp'er re gained consciousness the former heavyweight champion's glad handers were assuring him that he was the "old Dempsey." D e m p s e y, weighing 205 pounds, did carry power in his 45-year-old fists hut his blows were landing on a practically defenseless hulk and they fin ished their bloody work before his equally old legs were called on to prove their staying power. Fresh from a triumphal strug gle through a yelling crowd of punch-hungry fans he was hit harder by the back-slnppers than he was bv Luttrell Dempsey sat puffing slightly on his rubbing table and said "I need more work" when ask ed if this bizarre return to the ring heralded a serious campaign.
